“The Clan” by John Updike 🇺🇸 (18 Mar 193227 Jan 2009)
Emlyn reads in Dickens’ clothes,
Tennessee writes fleshy prose,
William Carlos, bony poems,
Esther swims in hippodromes,
Ted likes baseball, not its fans,
Gluyas draws Americans,
Vaughan pens music, score on score,
Soapy is a governor.
I hope everybody is
Thankful for the Williamses.
